About Rose Gold

Rose gold has taken the world by storm, and it is not hard to see why. This trendy metal has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its warm pinkish hue that gives it a contemporary and sleek look. It is the perfect choice for modern ring designs, adding a unique twist to traditional rings. Whether you are looking for something different or unusual, rose gold is an excellent option for those who want to stand out from the crowd.

This type of pink-tinted metal is used to create fine jewellery by adding copper to gold with a touch of silver to balance the colour. Most commonly, engagement rings and fine jewellery are created using 18K or 14K rose gold. The versatility of rose gold means that it can be paired with other metals like white or yellow gold for an even more stunning effect.

One of the most significant advantages of rose gold is its romantic appeal. The pink tint of the gold and copper alloy brings out subtle blush tones in one's skin, making it a perfect complement to a summer glow. Interestingly, despite its popularity in today’s jewellery, rose gold didn’t get its start until the 19th century in Imperial Russia when blending yellow gold and copper created an alluring pink material that was first coined as “Russian Gold.” As this mix of alloys became popular among jewellers around the world, it was later renamed “Rose Gold.”

In the engagement ring world, pink gold is very popular, especially in vintage-looking designs. It’s warm and inviting tone adds depth and character to any piece of jewellery. Rose gold is also versatile enough to be worn every day or on special occasions, making it a timeless choice that will never go out of style. 

Pink Tinted Inspiration

Rose gold is a versatile and enchanting metal choice for any occasion. It is suitable for all types of diamonds and gemstones, making it an excellent option for those who want to add a unique touch to their jewellery collection. The more copper added to the alloy, the more pink the gold becomes, which makes it an ideal metal choice for fancy-shaped diamonds and deeper-coloured gemstones like rubies and emeralds. If you're considering purchasing a ring or other pieces of jewellery made from rose gold, you will not be disappointed with this unique and enchanting metal colour!

One of the things that distinguish rose gold from other jewellery metals is its soft, feminine look and its ability to bring out blush tones from just about any skin colour. Rose gold looks great on almost all skin tones and complements almost any outfit colour as well. It pairs well with other metals and gemstones, making it a top choice for engagement rings. In general, rose gold tends to have a vintage charm about it when set with gemstones.

Pink gemstones tend to look amazing when set in rose gold because they complement each other so well. Morganite, pink diamonds, pink sapphires or pink tourmaline are good choices if you're looking for something that will really stand out. This is a matter of personal taste though, so see what works best for you.

Whether you are looking for an engagement ring or just want to add something special to your jewellery collection - Rose Gold is definitely worth considering
